THE COLOR PURPLE (1985) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Steven Spielberg

Written by - Menno Meyjes (based on a novel by Alice Walker)

Starring - Whoopi Goldberg

"This film, which follows the hard and difficult life of a young African American woman, is a film full of love for the cause, but at the end of the day it isn't very socially relevant and doesn't stand like neither a faithful portrayal of the first post slavery generation nor a manifesto against racial discrimination. Whoopi Goldberg in her debut on the big screen plays a difficult role with extreme care. "
